Coaches can elect to suspend the game and complete it at a later date if they want, you can finish it alone, or you can get one of the other officials in the stands to get dressed and get on the floor. I like option three the best, but you have to do what you have to do when presented with odd circumstances.
I have called 2 Varsity Boys games solo in my career, 1-2 Varsity Girls, 10-20 Sub-varsity Boys, 20+ sub-varsity girls, and too many JH Boys and Girls games to count anymore. Don't like to do, don't like being in the middle of it, but you do the best you can and continue to work hard and try to get good position and angles. Sounds like you did just fine, and I am glad you partner is resting well. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
OH, and I will add, that when I do call by myself, my tolerance level for coaches and players goes to ZERO (They coach or the play . . . PERIOD.), and I always tell the kids, PLAY until you hear a whistle. If there is no whistle, play continues.
